Having spent nearly a week in Ranchi, training at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh AstroTurf, the Indian Women’s Hockey Team is ready for the challenge at the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers Ranchi 2024 where they will begin their campaign against the United States on January 13. Speaking about their all-important outing on home turf, experienced attacking midfielder Navneet Kaur said, as quoted from Hockey India, "Arriving in Ranchi early has helped us gain quite a few sessions on the main pitch and it has also helped us acclimatize to this weather. Since we have also played in this venue before, during the Women’s Asian Champions Trophy, we know the pitch well. We also went and trained in Kunti district which is home to some of our teammates and it was incredible to see the excitement on the children’s faces who had come to cheer us."
